Would somebody please explain to the technically challenged how to do that?
Last night (~ 02:00 UTC) there was a maintenance with the Red Hat server
which serves besides other things the mirror selection lists, used by
yum and up2date to automatically choose a mirror for getting package
information and the packages itself. That caused yum to fail
temporarily.
My upgrades from FC2 and Fc3 went fine; I did FC1, hit exactly that
error,
and have been retrying ever since, for almost 24 hours.
Fwiw, I still have an /etc/yum.conf from FC1.
Up2date also fails.
Is the server really still out??
No, test it yourself by accessing the URL with your browser.
Or is something else wrong on my end?
Must be something with your setup.
